FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
General

The values given in the functional description are typical
values unless otherwise specified.

A principle diagram of the TEA106X is shown on the left
side of Fig.4. The TEA106X is a transmission circuit of the
TEA1060 family intended for hand-set operation.
It incorporates a receiving amplifier for the earpiece, a
transmit amplifier for the microphone and a hybrid.
For more details on the TEA1060 family, please refer to

“data Handbook IC03”

. The right side of Fig.4 shows a
principle diagram of the TEA1094 and TEA1094A,
hands-free add-on circuits with a microphone amplifier, a
loudspeaker amplifier and a duplex controller.

As can be seen from Fig.4, a loop is formed via the
sidetone network in the transmission circuit and the
acoustic coupling between loudspeaker and microphone
of the hands-free circuit. When this loop gain is greater
than 1, howling is introduced. In a full duplex application,
this would be the case.
The loop-gain has to be much lower than 1 and therefore

has to be decreased to avoid howling. This is achieved by
the duplex controller. The duplex controller of the
TEA1094 and TEA1094A detects which channel has the
‘largest’ signal and then controls the gain of the
microphone amplifier and the loudspeaker amplifier so that
the sum of the gains remains constant.
As a result, the circuit can be in three stable modes:

1. Transmit mode (Tx mode).
The gain of the microphone amplifier is at its maximum

and the gain of the loudspeaker amplifier is at its
minimum.

2. Receive mode (Rx mode).
The gain of the loudspeaker amplifier is at its

maximum and the gain of the microphone amplifier is
at its minimum.

3. Idle mode.
The gain of the amplifiers is halfway between their

maximum and minimum value.

The difference between the maximum gain and minimum
gain is called the switching range.

TEA1094

TEA1094A

Supply: pins VBB, GND and PD

The TEA1094 and TEA1094A must be supplied with an
external stabilized voltage source between pins V

BB

and
GND. In the idle mode, without any signal, the internal
supply current is 3.1 mA at VBB=5V.

To reduce the current consumption during pulse dialling or
register recall (flash), the TEA1094A is provided with a
power-down (PD) input. When the voltage on PD is HIGH
the current consumption from VBB is 180 µA.

Microphone channel: pins MIC, GAT, MOUT, MICGND
and MUTET (see Fig.5)

The TEA1094 and TEA1094A have an asymmetrical
microphone input MIC with an input resistance of 20 kΩ.
The gain of the input stage varies according to the mode
of the TEA1094 and TEA1094A. In the transmit mode, the
gain is at its maximum; in the receive mode, it is at its
minimum and in the idle mode, it is halfway between
maximum and minimum.

Switch-over from one mode to the other is smooth and
click-free. The output capability at pin MOUT is
20 µA (RMS).

In the transmit mode, the overall gain of the microphone
amplifier (from pins MIC to MOUT) can be adjusted from
0 dB up to 31 dB to suit specific application requirements.
The gain is proportional to the value of R

GAT

and equals

15.5 dB with R

GAT

= 30.1 kΩ.

A capacitor must be connected in parallel with R

GAT

to
ensure stability of the microphone amplifier. Together with
R

GAT

, it also provides a first-order low-pass filter.

By applying a HIGH level on pin MUTET, the microphone
amplifier is muted and the TEA1094 and TEA1094A are
automatically forced into the receive mode.

LOUDSPEAKER AMPLIFIER: PINS RIN1, RIN2, GAR AND LSP
The TEA1094 and TEA1094A have symmetrical inputs for

the loudspeaker amplifier with an input resistance of 40 kΩ
between RIN1 and RIN2 (2 × 20 kΩ). The input stage can
accommodate signals up to 390 mV (RMS) at room
temperature for 2% of total harmonic distortion (THD).
The gain of the input stage varies according to the mode
of the TEA1094 and TEA1094A. In the receive mode, the
gain is at its maximum; in the transmit mode, it is at its
minimum and in the idle mode, it is halfway between
maximum and minimum. Switch-over from one mode to
the other is smooth and click-free. The rail-to-rail output
stage is designed to power a loudspeaker connected as a
single-ended load (between LSP and GND).

In the receive mode, the overall gain of the loudspeaker
amplifier can be adjusted from 0 dB up to 33 dB to suit
specific application requirements. The gain from
RIN1 and RIN2 to LSP is proportional to the value of R

GAR

and equals 18.5 dB with R

GAR

= 66.5 kΩ. A capacitor

connected in parallel with R

GAR

can be used to provide a

first-order low-pass filter.

V

OLUME CONTROL: PIN VOL

The loudspeaker amplifier gain can be adjusted with the
potentiometer R

VOL

. A linear potentiometer can be used to
obtain logarithmic control of the gain at the loudspeaker
amplifier. Each 950 Ω increase of R

VOL

results in a gain
loss of 3 dB. The maximum gain reduction with the volume
control is internally limited to the switching range.

D

YNAMIC LIMITER: PIN DLC/MUTER

The dynamic limiter of the TEA1094 and TEA1094A
prevents clipping of the loudspeaker output stage and
protects the operation of the circuit when the supply
voltage at VBB falls below 2.9 V.

Hard clipping of the loudspeaker output stage is prevented
by rapidly reducing the gain when the output stage starts
to saturate. The time in which gain reduction is effected
(clipping attack time) is approximately a few milliseconds.
The circuit stays in the reduced gain mode until the peaks
of the loudspeaker signals no longer cause saturation.
The gain of the loudspeaker amplifier then returns to its
normal value within the clipping release time (typically
250 ms). Both attack and release times are proportional to
the value of the capacitor C

DLC

. The total harmonic
distortion of the loudspeaker output stage, in reduced gain
mode, stays below 5% up to 10 dB (minimum) of input
voltage overdrive [providing V

RIN

is below 390 mV (RMS)].

When the supply voltage drops below an internal threshold
voltage of 2.9 V, the gain of the loudspeaker amplifier is
rapidly reduced (approximately 1 ms). When the supply
voltage exceeds 2.9 V, the gain of the loudspeaker
amplifier is increased again.

By forcing a level lower than 0.2 V on pin DLC/

MUTER, the
loudspeaker amplifier is muted and the TEA1094
(TEA1094A) is automatically forced into the transmit
mode.

Duplex controller

S

IGNAL AND NOISE ENVELOPE DETECTORS: PINS TSEN,

TENV, TNOI, RSEN, RENV

AND RNOI

The signal envelopes are used to monitor the signal level
strength in both channels. The noise envelopes are used
to monitor background noise in both channels. The signal
and noise envelopes provide inputs for the decision logic.
The signal and noise envelope detectors are shown in
Fig.7.

For the transmit channel, the input signal at MIC is 40 dB
amplified to TSEN. For the receive channel, the differential
signal between RIN1 and RIN2 is 0 dB amplified to RSEN.
The signals from TSEN and RSEN are logarithmically
compressed and buffered to TENV and RENV
respectively. The sensitivity of the envelope detectors is
set with R

TSEN

and R

RSEN

. The capacitors connected in
series with the two resistors block any DC component and
form a first-order high-pass filter. In the basic application,
see Fig.13, it is assumed that V

MIC

= 1 mV (RMS) and

V

RIN

= 100 mV (RMS) nominal and both R

TSEN

and R

RSEN

have a value of 10 kΩ. With the value of C

TSEN

and C

RSEN

at 100 nF, the cut-off frequency is at 160 Hz.
The buffer amplifiers leading the compressed signals to

TENV and RENV have a maximum source current of
120 µA and a maximum sink current of 1 µA. Together with
the capacitor C

TENV

and C

RENV

, the timing of the signal
envelope monitors can be set. In the basic application, the
value of both capacitors is 470 nF. Because of the
logarithmic compression, each 6 dB signal increase
means 18 mV increase of the voltage on the envelopes
TENV or RENV at room temperature. Thus, timings can be
expressed in dB/ms. At room temperature, the 120 µA
sourced current corresponds to a maximum rise-slope of
the signal envelope of 85 dB/ms. This is sufficient to track
normal speech signals. The 1 µA current sunk by TENV or
RENV corresponds to a maximum fall-slope of 0.7 dB/ms.
This is sufficient for a smooth envelope and also eliminates
the effect of echoes on switching behaviour.
